Non-agricultural land
 

Due to European Union funding rules, Cydcoed cannot fund or commit to fund any tree planting on land that is or has in the last three years been used for agriculture.

Agriculture means horticulture, fruit growing, arable cropping, seed growing, dairy farming, livestock breeding and keeping, the use of the land as grazing land, meadowland, osier land, market gardens and nursery grounds or the use of land as woodland where that use is ancillary to the use of the land for other agricultural activities (e.g.: shelterbelts and woodland pasture).

Keeping of horses for recreational or sporting purposes, fish farming, and Christmas tree growing are not considered to be agricultural activities.
